Biography Of Shaikh Noor-Ud-Din
Shrine of Shaikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani Chrar-i-Sharif
The movement flourished from the first half of the fifteenth century and the Shaikh Noor-ud-Din, commonly known as Nund Resh in Kashmir was responsible for its growth and popularity, aided by his four eminent disciples, Bam-ud-Din, Zain-ud-Din, Latif-ud-Din and Nasr-ud-Din. Shaikh Noor-ud-Din was born on Zul-Hajja, 779 AH/0 April 1378 AD. His birth place was Kaimoh, where his father Salar Ganai, belonging to the tribe of watchmen lived. It is said that when the Shaikh was born, he would not take milk from his mother’s breast. Three days after his birth, Lalla, the celebrated Shavite ascetic of Kashmir happened to come by

After the death of their father, the brothers of Noor-ud-Din, Shesh and Kundar, are reported to have tarned to a life of theft and robbery. When Noor-ud-Din grew older , they pressed him to share in their way of life, and Noor-ud-Din reluctantly agreed. However the Shaikh proved an incompetent thief. His brothers, thinking that he might become a source of trouble, approached their mother and told her that he should leave them, as he was ignorant fool. Their mother sent for him and said that if he considered stealing unlawful, he should take up some other means of earning his living. The Shaikh agreed and went with her to a weaver to become his apprentice. But the very first …show more content…
Among his prominent disciples were Bam-ud-Din, Zain-ud-Din, Latif-ud-Din and Qiyam-ud-Din. There is no evidence that he gave a Khilafat-nama to any of his disciples or that he nominated any of them as his successor. But Sayid Ali, the author of Tarikh-i-Kashmir, calls the first four above mentioned disciples his Khalifas, and the later writers have followed the Sayid. Out of these Khalifas, the first three are alleged to have been born as Hindus and to have been converted to Islam by Noor-ud-Din. It is said thar Bam-ud-Din was a famous Brahmin, respected by many Kashmiri Hindus, residing in Bamzu, where he used to worship numerous idols. He is credited with having possessed remarkable miraculous powers, even as a Hindu. For example, he is reported to have bathed, daily at dawn, simultaneously at five different places in Kashmir. Chandanyar in the town of Vijabror, Shoryar and Khujyar (in Srinagar); Vular (40 miles north-west of Srinagar) and Khadanyar (in the town of Baramulla). It is said that when Nooud-Din heard about his reputation, he decided to visit him and convert him to Islam. When he went to see Bhuma Sadh (the Hindu name of Bam-ud-Din), he put rhe bloody skin of a newly slaughtered cow on his shoulders, Bhuma Sadh saw the Shaikh and was naturally annoyed. He asked the Shaikh to go away, and not to pollute the idols. Noor-ud-Din stayed, the Brahman asked him what he wanted. Noor-ud-Din replied :”I

    "The students, united, will never be defeated!". This was the rallying call of students at San Francisco State University trying to save their Asian America Studies classes in 2008. 40 years after the first Third World Liberation Front protested and fought against discrimination and for their rights to have ethnic studies classes, the fight still continues. Students fought to have classes from the perspective of ethnic peoples, and not the Eurocentric point of view. In doing so, the struggle for ethnic studies from students and the community challenged and broke the status quo and construct of "race" in a Eurocentric America.…

    Kitty Genovese

    • 1256 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The Kitty Genovese story is a tragic one and is a controversial topic when ethics come into play. Though she screamed for help repeatedly while being stabbed the observers from the surrounding apartments did very little to assist the young woman. One observer in specific did shout “Leave the girl alone” and that deterred the assailant for a brief moment but whether or not he acted ethically is something of a different matter. According to Duty-Base Ethics which by definition states “the doctrine that actions are morally correct if they comply with existing obligations owed another and ourselves,” one could deduct that this observer did not act ethically because he did not serve the duty to Kitty Genovese to save her life as if roles were reversed it would be Kitty Genovese’s ethical duty to ensure the observer’s life was saved. This duty that Kitty Genovese did not receive is the very basic fundamental meaning of one’s life and how we each owe it to one another to try to preserve a fellow human beings life. This can also be translated at the Golden Rule which urges us to “do unto others as we would have them do unto us” which is the basis to Immanuel Kant’s ethical reasoning. If the observer had taken the Golden Rule into mind while deciding how to act while this innocent young woman is pleading for help the result could have been a story of heroism instead of tragedy. In order for the Golden Rule to be successful in influencing our ethical behaviors one must place themselves in the situation they are witnessing, contemplate how one would feel in that person’s shoes and struggle and suffering. Obviously this observer was not moved by the Golden Rule and thus did not act ethically according to the Kantian ethical approach.…
